If any specific model is getting it badly wrong, that will simply manifest through a scaling factor very different from 1 without changing the total attribution.

The first is basically that mentioned by Greg Simpson in point 7; the seasonal flux in biomass seems to exceed the background rate of change of CO2 in the atmosphere by a large enough factor that it probably exceeds the total emissions.

So while the orbital factors can change the seasonal distribution of insolation, the total insolation is constant.

Once the reactors that are in construction come online, probably along with others that will be approved in the future unless China changes its energy policy, that number should shoot up, though to what percentage of total will depend on many factors (economic growth is probably # 1 on the list).

That is, to claim that relatively «infinitesimal» changes in the amount of CO2 that humanity contributes to the total amount produced is not vastly overwhelmed by other factors (the Sun, volcanoes, naturally - occurring forest - and wild - fires, wild animal flatulence, oceans, etc.) is intellectually and scientifically bankrupt.

A customer's total savings over the lifetime of their solar installation depend on many factors, including how utility rates change over time and, for solar loans, their interest rate.

In contrast, EPA's estimate for the total gains from avoided climate change damages as well as other factors (such as reduced macroeconomic volatility from reduced reliance on oil imports), might yield as little as $ 29 billion in the year 2040, in the scenario where the «social cost of carbon» is relatively low.

While the greenhouse gas footprint of the production of other foods, compared to sources such as livestock, is highly dependent on a number of factors, production of livestock currently accounts for about 30 % of the U.S. total emissions of methane.316, 320,325,326 This amount of methane can be reduced somewhat by recovery methods such as the use of biogas digesters, but future changes in dietary practices, including those motivated by considerations other than climate change mitigation, could also have an effect on the amount of methane emitted to the atmosphere.327

That's true, when the addition to OHC is only a small fraction of the total change in forcing, because essentially the same factor affects the correction.

Population growth is a factor, but the largest plausible changes in population expected this century make little difference to the total; we have two far more urgent problems reflected in these numbers:

Long, D., Y. Yang, Y. Wada, Y. Hong, W. Liang, Y. Chen, B. Yong, A. Hou, J. Wei, and L. Chen, 2015: Deriving scaling factors using a global hydrological model to restore GRACE total water storage changes for China's Yangtze River Basin.

(Sec. 265) Authorizes the Secretary to establish a research program to: (1) identify the factors affecting consumer actions to conserve energy and make improvements in energy efficiency; and (2) make grants to institutions of higher education to study the effects of consumer behavior on total energy use, the potential energy savings from changes in consumption habits, the ability to reduce GHG emissions through changes in energy consumption habits, increasing public awareness of federal climate adaptation and mitigation programs, and the potential for alterations in consumer behavior to further American energy independence.

The left bar shows the net change in the population at risk due to climate change alone, while the right bar shows the total population at risk after accounting for both climate change and non-climate-change related factors.

If the energy budget of the air is maintained in balance by means of the weather systems neutralising changes in the power of the resistor effect in the air alone (more CO2) and changes in energy received from the oceans (ocean cycles) then the only remaining factor requiring consideration at any particular time is total throughput of energy from the sun (the electric current in the resistor analogy).

Okay, so now you suddenly agree that total energy received from the sun during the year does not change with the Milankovitch cycle and hence is not a factor in the glacial / interglacial transitions.

(2) the solar activity is the main driver of the «climate change»; its role (sensitivity in °C / (W / m ²) is understated by IPCC by a factor 10 to 20; IPCC argues from «physical considerations» to restrict the role of the Sun to the sole total solar irradiance (TSI).

Thermal expansion is the main driver of steric changes (salinity is also a minor factor) so steric sea level rise is another measure of total ocean heat.

Fortunately, sufficient information is available on surface temperature change in the Pliocene and Pleistocene to allow us to scale the deep ocean temperature change by appropriate factors, thus retaining the temporal variations in the δ18O while also having a realistic magnitude for the total temperature change over these epochs.
